Hajj fare: Kwara fixes June 16 deadline for payment
The Kwara Muslim Pilgrims Welfare
Board on Sunday said it had fixed Friday, June 16, as deadline for the
completion of payment of 2017 Hajj fare by all prospective pilgrims travelling
through the board.
Mohammed Tunde-Jimoh, the Executive Secretary
of the board, announced this while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria in
llorin.
He, therefore, advised all intending pilgrims
to pay up their balance on or before that date, or forfeit their seats, warning
that there would be no extension of the deadline.
Mr. Tunde-Jimoh said the fixing of the
deadline was necessitated by the directive of the National Hajj Commission that
all state Muslim pilgrims welfare boards should submit all travelling documents
of their intending pilgrims.
The Secretary requested prospective pilgrims
who had completed payment of the fare, to submit their e-passport to the Board
before June 16.
He expressed gratitude to the state government
for its support to the Board towards ensuring hitch-free preparations for the
Hajj.
A total of 2,168 and 20 officials from the
state are expected to perform the pilgrimage.
NAN reports that all intending pilgrims in the
state had deposited N1 million, leaving a balance of N400,000.
The sum of N1.4 million is being charge as Hajj fare this year
in Kwara.
